    B 2 only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both 1 and 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ● Statement 1 is incorrect: The militant nationalism grew due to the dissatisfaction with the mainstream politics. Inspired by the ideas of Russian nihilists and Irish nationalists, they adopted the method of individual heroic actions in the form of assassination of the unpopular officials, encourage Swadeshi dacoity to raise funds and organizing military conspiracy with aid from foreign powers who were enemies of the Britain. Thus, their movement was based on individual heroic activity and not based on the activity of the masses. ● Statement 2 is incorrect: It did not subside post the abrogation of the partition of Bengal as is evident by the Bomb attack on the carriage of Lord Hardinge in Delhi in 1912 by Rashbehari Bose and Sachin Sanyal.
